Every session at SXSW that I attended was podcast. Obviously, lots of the sessions don’t translate well to podcast form because there were too many panelists to keep track of or there was too much Powerpoint. But, some of the Podcasts should translate quite nicely.
Here are two SXSW podcasts I recommend:

Update: Parsefork apparently died… there’s now a porn site at their old domain. Sucks. Anyway, I killed the link in this post.
Original Post: Wow! Parsefork is a data-geek-music-snob’s dream come true. If you fit that description, check it out.

There were plenty of gems in the open source hardware keynote dialog between Limor Fried and Phil Torrone, but in the spirit of filtering down I’ll choose just one.
The crowd got pretty excited by a cigarette pack which was used as a housing for a cellphone jammer built by Limor. It’s like [...]

Josh Kopelman’s post entitled “The Penny Gap” has turned into a meme. The debate on his post largely misinterprets his point, but it’s interesting nonetheless. I commented on the post, but by the time I was done commenting, I realized that I had written a comment the size of an individual blog post, [...]

In the session entitled “Mapping: Where the F#*% Are We Now?” I learned about a fascinating project called Mapstraction. Mapstraction is an API that abstracts the Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft mapping APIs.
If you program your maps mashup using Mapstraction then you’re not tied into a single company’s map product. It makes [...]

I am currently at SXSW and loving every second of it. There are a bunch of great resources about the event: live blogging, community blogging, and the panel podcasts. So, rather than add to the all the information, I hope that my commentary can be a filter. I’m going to post a [...]

Valleywag’s post on “The New Payola” (which is a rehash of a WSJ post) is an interesting bite-sized insight. The gist:
Lily Allen, the young singer whose rocketed to stardom with songs such as Smile and LDN, says: “They won’t advertise your album unless you give them extra material.” Nobody is accusing Apple of traditional [...]

I know it’s not a *new* feature, but I was unaware that Google allowed its users to export their search history through authenticated RSS. That’s big. I suspect we will start seeing third-party search analytics companies cropping up that will suck in your search history in exchange for personalization, recommendations, and filtering in [...]

Steve Jurvetson (the “J” in DFJ) stumbled upon a paintball stunt during Tree Week at Stanford, the time of year when the new tree is picked. He took some pictures and put them up on Flickr. There are a bunch of comments, which vary in entertainment value.
Oh nostalgia.
